Reading doesn't teach people! The
average politician can't realize that Da-
kota has nearly $500 school houses and
employs over 5000 teachers that she
has 3,400 miles of railway; that she has
elegant and costly public buildings that
would put to shame those of many
states If some Of these statesmen mt
Washington could ride through the
bustling streets of Huron, Mitchell,
Aberdeen, Watertown, Grand Forks or
Fargo if they could survey the palaces
Of trade that line the busy thorougfarss
of Sioux Falls if they could look at the
elegant private residences of Yankton
and the large and costly asylum for the
insane erected there; or see the col.
leses at Nermillion, Brookings, Madi.

territory that look down on the beauti-

could go to that place where they

Eastern towns of 10000 do in month

ridiculous it is TO have the tail of this

Assistant Territorial Superintendent

The matter Of the appointment Of an
Assistant Territorial Superintendent for
the Black Hills, is being agitated some.

legislature will be asked to pass law
allowing such an appointment to be
made. 1t is evident that such an officer
is needed in this portion of the territory,
as under the present condition the ter.
ritorial superintendent does not or can
not conveniently visit this section, and
the appointment Of All assistant seems
necessary, as the Black Hills is rapidly
settling up, and educational matters
must receive due attention here, as else.

A Dakota exchange referring to the
significant fact of the absence Of abject
poverty in the great territory thus &C.
counts for the conspicuous fact: "Thc
people who go to Dakota are for the
most part those who have the will and
energy To achieve success even if they
are not blessed with goodly portion OF
this worlds goods. They have not
made the venture ofbuilding up home
and career in the great territory with
out well considering the numerous trials
and contingencies which must be met
in new country, and they are prepared
to meet them with the stout heart
whose possession is half the battle.
Dakota offers a comfortable home for
all who are willing to work and to work
hard, if need be, to secure it, but she
has no room for drones, and people OF
that sort are made to understand il.
She is willing to help those who are
anxious to help themselves, but is
judicious in her cordiality. She pre-
sents boundless possibilities to those
who have faith, courage and willing
hands, and as they who come within
her borders generally possess those es-
sential qualities she numbers but few
upon whom the blight Of extreme
poverty rests"

Referring to the matter of Dakota's ad.

Referring to the matter of Dakota's adj
mission, the st. Paul Globe says: AT
the last gubernatorial election Nevada
cast only 10000 votes while Dakota cast
100000. notwithstanding this glaring
discrepancy between the two, Nevada is
placed upon a pinnacle which Dakota,
though more justly entitled to the elova-
ton, has, despite her striving, not yet
attained. Nevada is a state, with all the
magnificence Of two senators and state
officers, while Dakota is obliged to re-
main out in the cold grumbling under
her territorial form Of government"
